Hi allJust away on our H345. We are having trouble with our control panel. The water tank shows 100% but it's empty. I can't find a way to reset it. Also diesel shows 100% which is more worrying as I know this can't be full. Any ideas? It's the new 'we' hanse Control panel.

Hi Monty, sounds as if your VDO sensor is stuck in the full Position. These automotive cheapo's do not work reliably in the maritime evironment. The is a drop in replacement from Philippi I described in a former thread. Takes less than 15 mins to install a using the existing 2 wire cable.

I also replaced the water tank sensor und used the two outer wires from the 5 wire flat cable Hanse had installed.

- water gauge showing 100% most times no matter the actual level; it has been replaced under warranty tems by dealer; after a few months I have the same problem. Frank is right, these are cheap components though I don't think any of us would have traded "low" cost for repeated issues.Water level in the 345 is easy to check visually, as I divided the wooden plank below the bed in smaller chunks, so I decided not to waste my time any longer on the subject.

- my Calira panel passed away time ago and was replaced, under warranty, with new one, the TEV605 as the old one was no longer available; ultimately it required re-cabling and brought some delay to re-fix it.I soon realized that the fuel reading was showing a consistent 10 % difference with engine on or off, or when connected to shore.After insisting with dealer, Hanse admitted it was a known bug (so was I told) but left the issue to dealer; we agreed to install a plain VDO gauge and disable reading the level in the panel, to make a long story short.So in other words, the level values read by the TEV panel (fuel and water btw) were affected by the voltage level

Maybe someday I will install something different as advised by Frank, but I can't help thinking that the quality of many components used by Hanse falls way behind the general very good value of the boat - especially when it comes to sailing and navigation performance, which matters more.

my calira gauge panel is dead . Calira is also dead. Hanse is not able to propose solution !!! the hanse sav is very bad . I bought filippi tcm4v in germany because in france is too expensive . I 'll do the replacement the last week. I will give you news soon.
